Acts 3:22

For Moses truly said Trulyis here the rendering of the particle μέν, and is likely to be misunderstood, as though it meant verily. Read For indeed Moses said. Here the Apostle cites the prophecies to which he has been alluding. First from Deuteronomy 18:15 he points out that the prophet who had been promised was to be of their brethren, as Moses had been. This was a comparison which the Jews themselves were fond of making, and they often identified the prophet of whom Moses spake with the Messiah. Thus the Midrash Rabbahon Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "Rabbi Berakhiah in the name of Rabbi Yizkhak [Isaac] says: -As was the former redeemer so shall the latter redeemer be." While of the former redeemer it is said (Exodus 4:20), -And Moses took his wife and his sons and set them upon an ass," so of the latter: for it says (Zechariah 9:9), -He is lowly and riding upon an ass." And while the former redeemer brought down manna, as it says (Exodus 16:4), -Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you," so the latter redeemer will bring down manna. For it says (Psalms 72:16), -There shall be abundance of corn in the land." And as the former redeemer caused the well to spring up (see Numbers 21:17), so the latter redeemer shall also cause the waters to spring up. For it says (Joel 3:18), -A fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim." "

him shall ye hear i.e. those who have "ears to hear" when the prophet comes and speaks. The next verse shews that all the nation were not included in the "ye."
